About

The Castle Grounds take the final slot because they are more meaningful than spectacular, but they still matter. They provide the visible setting for the cave network and a tangible link to Reigate's medieval story, which helps the town feel more layered than a simple market-town high street.\n\nIt is best treated as part of a broader heritage wander rather than a standalone draw, but it deserves a mention for that reason.
